Since going from Land Surveying to Web Development, I've noticed one key element that is relevant in both: the lower the price, the more demanding the client.
Do you find this to be the case as well?

Truer words rarely spoken... ...er typed.

This is a truism that holds across any discipline. Once upon a time, long ago and far away, I was a stock broker. The biggest pain in *ss clients nearly always held the smallest portfolio with me and always demanded a disproportionate amount of my time holding their hand.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
Sounds like you fellows have had a few Lucy from Peanuts clients "It should be 5 cents!" Or those that are convinced they are paying for the survey so you will put the corners where they tell you.
80% of your clients take 20% of your effort. It's the other ones you have to be concerned with.
Wow man, I had no idea that I was that demanding. 😉
LOL Brad! You are a model client and an exception to the rule. No winky face. It's really true.

A joke told by a standup comic many years ago... (patron to grocer) "How much are your tomatoes" (Grocer) "The more you buy, the cheaper they are" (Patron) "OK ...then keep giving them to me till they're free!"
Low price = demanding client... Yep
Like in my beach vacation rentals.... the less I charge a customer, the more damage or more clean up I have....
Ones that pay the least do the most damage......
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you...
